New Call of Duty: Ghosts Game Update Out Now For Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC

A new game update for Call of Duty: Ghosts is now live. A few hours before the Nemesis DLC add-on went live, Infinity Ward released a new game update for the Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC. Infinity Ward has not released an game update for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 versions of the game but we can expect it to be available in the next few days.

There have been some very important tweaks and fixes made to the game. Infinity Ward has also made changes to the killstreaks. The Loki has been buffed so now the large rod can be fired every 4 seconds instead of 7, rod fires at 1.5 seconds instead of 2 seconds after trigger pull and the small rods now fire at 0.3 seconds instead of 0.5 seconds after trigger pull. Both the assault and support juggernauts have also been buffed and are now faster then before and they also have the Focus perk equipped.

The game update also adds a few new features to the game. Players can now reset their stats once they reach the final prestige. A new, very useful addition to the game is the new hitmaker. The hitmaker is white when your bullets are injuring an enemy and the hitmarker will turn orange when you deal the killing blow.

The patch notes for the new game update are given below:
